D & G Equity Management

My boyfriend and I feel so fortunate to have met Alex and Jill at D & G in our search for the ideal cozy space in the Russian River area. From day one, everything was explained clearly and thoroughly and they truly took the time to listen to us. They are quick to respond to our questions and service requests and we are extremely happy in our new home.

I own a house in Forestville, D & G has found tenants for me.

Jill is a very unkind and mean human being. It is very unpleasant to deal with her in any matter. In my opinion she does not belong in a community such as the Russian River. Be advise do not do buisness with this person. She is mean and disrespectful in my experiences.

After 14 months my tenant moved to Oregon. I contacted D&G and they found me a new prospective tenant in 3 days. D&G did speedy references check, background check, credit history. Within a couple weeks she moved in. I have the apartment, attached to my house, no longer vacant.

Run by creeps. that’s all.

Most of the reviews for D&G are by renters who were smart enough to stay away after dealing with Jill. We were not that smart. Here is just the tip of the iceberg that was our D&G experience.
We’re a younger, professional but poor couple, who recently mored to the California from another state. We both have degrees and are not your «high risk» renter types like you can sometimes find in Guerneville. We love Guerneville, still do, and the rental prices can be better than other locations so we figured why not.
From day one Jill made us feel like we’d done something wrong by being in her office. She was short with us, annoyed by our presence, and downright rude. Honestly, had D&G not had the apartment we liked in our price range, I would have run screaming in the opposite direction, but I didn’t think we would have to deal with her much.
I cannot even begin to list the number of times this woman was way out of line. When our washer went out and kept flooding the apartment below ours, it took 3 weeks to «fix», though it never really was fixed I just stopped putting myself through dealing with Jill, and went to a laundry mat in Santa Rosa on my way home from work at night.
If you’re a property owner, and are allowing this company to manage your rental, just know this: once the lease is up you won’t be getting any quality renters back for repeat business. If Jill treats you well, it’s because you’re her bread and butter. Please know that she is treating the renters, and your homes, in a vastly different way.
If you’re nice, trying to get a start, and at ALL sensitive or compassionate, stay far away from this woman and from D&G. Don’t be tempted by the lower prices. I never leave reviews like this, but I truly hope it will help someone else not make the year long mistake we did.

Rent the orchard lane house if you like walnuts dropping on car persimmons orange and some other trees dropping stuff all year round moldy fruit and neighbors eight cats taking dumps all over property and house doesn’t hold heat. Theirs too much yard work for once a month landscape Other than that the people from rental agency are ok they are nice and helpful just property is what you would expect from a old river house. Not their fault it needs upgrades Jill is nice young lady. It is what it is

Well hell yeah they are nice to a property owner, that’s how they make there dough. Renters are always treated like crap unless you have perfect credit. And these days that’s pretty hard. Power to the people!!!

How many times do I fall for this place? Always thinking these people could find a home for me. This last experience was the worst! After sitting with Devon for an hour going over an application, I was told a WEEK later that she couldn’t find my app. THEN the story was that the application was «vague» and wasn’t completed, which it WAS.
THEN the story was that they do not support the cannabis business, which I am a part of– not a grower, though.
This is discrimination, I believe.
Furthermore, she would not return my sensitive documents when asked. In fact, she was hurriedly making copies when I arrived.
I went over an TOOK them! She hissed like a CAT! And spewed obscenities at me, I did not participate. Jill is a mean person and a horrible agent.

Worked with Jill DeProto who found a tenant to rent my vacant apartment (apt.) attached to my house. Jill visited the apt. took pictures + recommended several items to cause the rental to be more market competitive. She listed apt. on the D & G website and an applicant responded next day. Applicant visited the apt. and met with me. I gave an OK to Jill about the applicant. Jill next ran the applicant’s 1. background check 2. employment, and
rating. The tenant recently moved in. All this happened remarkably very fast. A very good tenant is now my next door neighbor! I rate D & G with an A+ grade. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to find either a place to rent or rent out property. Liam Davis, Guerneville, CA

The lady with the blonde and curly hair was extremely rude to me and my partner when we came in to view a rental, and apparently she is the owners wife. I have never been treated so badly by someone in a business, and should never have to be treated. If he was smart, he would do his business some good and get rid of her because she is driving many potential customers away.

I am a property owner and D &G has managed my rental property for me for the past 10 years. I have never found Jill or anyone else in the office difficult to deal with. Quite the opposite. They have even gone out of their way to be helpful with issues unrelated to the property they managed for me.
I have other properties managed by other property management companies and I find D&G to be more responsive and more professional than any of the others. I highly recommend them.

D&G…WORST property management ever! There admin costs for checking your credit etc is ridiculous. The employees especially Jill do not care about the people who come through their doors looking to rent. Jill is extremely rude and judgmental. Jill needs to look into a new profession, one that does not involve helping people.
We were new to the area and looking to rent, we both had jobs and the finances to literally walk into a rental. But what this property management does is take money the money for admin fees (credit check etc 80.00×2 outrageous) then… they wait until they have numerous applications for a property (collecting as much admin fees as they can btw) then Jill, with her lack of personality, and non existent telephone/​customer skills, selects who SHE likes for the rental.
We eventually found a great place to rent via
, we found it in the area we wanted too. Our new landlady is fantastic. Our landlady knows of D&G and did not have good things to say about them…
There are lots of rentals in the Guerneville, Forestville, Rio Nido area which can be rented via a private landlord, who will treat you like a human being and not like scum on the bottom of a shoe. I would suggest Craigslist.
Alot of people are finding out about how shady and shoddy D&G are… I urge you not to give them your hard earned cash. Good luck with your rental searches.

I had to go by this place when inquiring about a commercial rental. This rude woman behind the counter literally tossed me the keys and went about her business. I guess I was interrupting her from her solitaire game or whatever it is she does with herself. So I grabbed the keys and gave up on trying to pry anymore info about the rental from her. I guess that meant I was supposed to go to the space and look at it by myself.
They don’t bother taking the time to list most of their rentals online. Must suck for the people who have hired them.
I have heard nothing but similar stories about how rude these people are. There is another rental/​property management in town called Russian River Realty… they are actually really nice an accommodating. If you are reading this in search of a company to manage your property, go to RRR before you give a cent to D&G. They suck and don’t deserve a thing.

This is by far the worst rental agency I have ever had to deal with. They have a reputation for being slum lords. I have been born and raised in Guerneville and I can tell you that there are so many complaints about D and G that I’m amazed they haven’t been run out of town. They’re just not nice or honest.

Does the term bait and switch mean anything. We had a wonderful weekend planned for two nights, they take my info and CC # then I get a call saying, Oops, we forgot to tell you it was a 4 night minimum!!!
NOT COOL!!!

Very unfriendly service. Difficult to get a property. We rented from them for about a year and were always running into issues with them. Highly not recomended. Try Russian River Reality for a better service. Tried to rip off our deposit too. Nightmares. Long term rentals a bad news.
Update. They are still trying to rip off our deposit. We are trying to discuss with them, but they dont respond. Like pulling hens teeth.

Ahh… Villa Eileen… How I adore you for your squeaky floors, thin walls, and 1970s décor. Alright, alright… it wasn’t that bad.
Seriously, if you’re looking for a house to rent in Russian River Valley, this is a great place to rent for the weekend with a group of friends. I’ve rented a house in RRV before so there were some comparisons to make. Big pluses: the deck area was bigger than the house, the place had 3 BBQs, firepit, and was literally located right by the river.
Go for a nice summer weekend and plan to park yourself beachside for a morning of canoeing, afternoon of tanning, and a good game of truth or dare by the firepit. S’mores anyone?
Tip + warning: you can canoe across the river to the Stumphump bar. Need I say more?
